Filed To Story: Destined Bond with My Forbidden Alpha Novel (Alpha Alexander & Selene)
Selene proceeded to tell Alexander all she remembered about her time with the Priestess and her first and now the second dream of the missing memory.
“Wow…” he said. “So… we are both descended from the original werewolves. I mean, my family, of course, I always knew. But it felt like more of an abstract concept than a real thing with any kind of significance beyond Summer.”
“Apparently, it’s pretty significant. I don’t know why or how exactly, but I guess there are powers involved.”
“That makes sense,” Alexander said.
“It does?” Selene asked, looking at him quizzically.
“You don’t think so?” he asked, giving her an equally surprised look.
“How?”
“Well, us, for starters,” he laughed. “Our bond from the beginning has been different, unique.”
“How would you even know that? You’ve never had another bond, and the bond I had with Jackson wasn’t mine, so, of course, it was different,” Selene said.
“I did some research,” Alexander said.
“Oh? Did you?” Selene laughed.
“Yes,” he smiled. “I was curious how we could connect the way we did before we had completed our bond. But, turns out, we shouldn’t have been able to connect that way at all.”
“Really?”
“Have your parents ever been able to do that?” Alexander asked.
“Alexander, I haven’t exactly been curious about whether or not my parents have metaphysical hookups.”
They both laughed.
Alexander stared at her with a soft glow in his eyes.
He reached for her hips and pulled her back against him, so she sat with her back on his chest. Then he stretched his arm across her chest, so his palm rested on her shoulder.
“We are special, Selene,” he whispered into her ear. “What we have is like nothing else in this world.”
Selene closed her eyes and leaned back, resting her head against his shoulder and tilting, so her neck was exposed to him.
He kissed her offered flesh, and his hand trailed down from her shoulder to where the two sides of the robe met and crossed to cover her body. His tongue traced along her throat as his hand slipped inside the robe.
Selene let out a soft moan as he nibbled at her throat, and his fingers traced her firm nipple.
“See… special,” Alexander said with a smile in his voice.
Selene suddenly opened her eyes as the sensation of his mouth, and his hand left her feeling cold and wanting.
She looked up and realized that they still sat apart, and he was smiling at her with mischief in his eyes.
With a low growl from deep within her, she pounced on him, turning their morning flight back into an evening flight.
The trip home was long and tiring. The flight alone was almost twelve hours, and the drive from the airport was another four. Selene and Alexander were exhausted. All they wanted was to reach Summer and go to bed.
But they knew that wouldn’t be the case. The Alpha and Luna were returning from their honeymoon. It was Selene’s first introduction, though unofficial, to the pack as their actual Luna and not just Alexander’s mate.
The fanfare and attention would be more than either of them had ever encountered. Moreover, it made them both even more tired. They briefly considered staying the night at one of the neutral territory cabins. But in the end, they decided it was better to get it over with.
Alexander had chosen to take one of the lesser-used gates. Hoping that if their arrival was not noticed right away, the celebration wouldn’t quite be in full swing, possibly making it easier to control and hopefully shut down.
The problem with that plan was that the gate wasn’t opening.
Alexander got out of the car and tried his controller again, but nothing happened. Then, as he approached the gate, he saw the automatic defenses were up, but the door itself was utterly unresponsive.
He stopped, knowing that if he took another step forward without disarming the gate, he would set off the defenses.
“Alexander, what’s the problem?” Selene called as she got out of the car.
“Just a minute, Selene,” he called back.
Selene looked around. The sun was setting, but this part of Summer looked darker than usual.
“Hey Alexander, does it look dark around here to you?”
Alexander pressed at the place on his thumbpad that should have connected him with Galen, but nothing happened.
“What the hell?” he questioned..
“Alexander,” Selene called, walking toward him as she looked up at the places she was sure she had seen some kind of illumination before. “Weren’t there lights here before?”
Alexander looked up into the trees. He furrowed his brows, knowing that she was right. There should have been some small lights in the area.
“Yes…” Alexander said quietly. He looked up just in time to see that Selene was still moving toward the gate. “Selene, wait!”
He reached out for her. Grabbing her hand and pulling her back as a row of sharp spikes sprang up from the ground where Selene’s foot had been.
“What the hell!” Selene shouted as she saw the spikes.
“The defenses are activated,” Alexander said, looking around.
“Why?!” she shouted.
“I don’t know, but it can’t be good,” Alexander replied. “I can’t reach Galen on my neural link either.”
“What about your phone?” Selene asked.
Alexander hurried to the car and grabbed his phone, and Selene did the same.
“No signal,” they said simultaneously.
“Now I’m worried,” Selene said.
“Me too,” Alexander replied. He reached in and pulled out his backpack. He opened a small pocket and grabbed something before tossing it back in the car. “We need to get past these defenses and get inside. Then we must avoid the other automatic sentries and turrets between here and the main campus.”
He touched his chest and then extended his hand to her. Selene looked down and saw that he was offering her an armor button. She took it and placed it on her chest.
The Alpha and Luna suited up and prepared to break into Summer.
“I’ve almost got it,” Nessa sighed.
“That’s what you said two hours ago!” A man in a blue sweater growled. “You obviously don’t know what you are doing, so why don’t you step aside and let me fix this!”
“Hey, Dave!” Clara interrupted, pointing a flashlight directly into his eyes. “How about you sit down and shut up! Because the last time you ‘fixed’ part of the problem, we lost the freakin’ lights!”
“It’s ok, Clara,” Nessa said gently. “He’s mad because he missed three different worms during his sweep.”
Clara growled at him and then sat down close to Nessa.
They were in the main server room. The systems for this building were all on their own grid and unaffected by the outage that most of Summer was experiencing.
“Weren’t you the one that claimed it wasn’t replicating?” Dave said smugly.
“I did, and it wasn’t,” Nessa sighed. “I already told you those worms were not the same as the one we found in the science lab.”
“No, according to you, our systems were infested for Goddess knows how long. And none of our highly trained analysts were able to identify these worms. But you, the self-trained wolf from a pack of brutes, were able to find them in a matter of hours?” Dave scoffed.
“Dave!” Clara growled, standing up and getting close to him. “If you don’t shut your stupid face, I swear to the Goddess I am gonna shove this flashlight so far up your–”
“Got it!” Nessa shouted.
“Really?” Clara said brightly. “Good job, babe!”
“Yeah, right,” Dave said, crossing his arms.
The door opened, a woman leaned in with a bright smile.
